Barcelona legend tells Tottenham who should start alongside Richarlison after £60m transfer

Brazilian legend Rivaldo believes Richarlison will form a 'fantastic trio' with Harry Kane and Son Heung-min following the latter's summer move to Tottenham Hotspur.

Spurs shelled out £60million to sign the attacker from Everton, where he played a vital role in keeping the Toffees in the Premier League last season. With 14 goals in 36 caps for his national side, the 25-year-old is ready to take the next step and test himself in the UEFA Champions League for the first time.

Tottenham boss Antonio Conte has built a formidable attack with Kane and Son, while January arrival Dejan Kulusevski has been nothing short of a revelation in the time he has been with the north London club. While some sceptics are unsure where Richarlison fits into the Tottenham team, Rivaldo has tipped his fellow Brazilian to form a partnership alongside Kane and Son.

"Richarlison is officially at Spurs, and I believe this is a great transfer for him as it will allow him to play for a top club in the Premier League and also compete in the Champions League in 2022-23," Rivaldo told Betfair.com. "Furthermore, he might form a fantastic trio with Son and Harry Kane in attack.

"So, I think it is a great move for him, and I'm anxious to start watching him play at a club with big ambitions for next season under Antonio Conte."
